The Power Of Our Words

by

Power of our Words 6-2019

The other day I was thinking about the power of our words and how much power is in the words that we speak. Our words can literally change the direction of someone’s day and at times even their life. Words have the power to emotionally crush people leaving them feeling so beat down until they feel unworthy.  Thank God, the opposite is also true. Our words can bless people by bringing joy, encouragement, wisdom, light, and so much more.

A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.

Proverbs 25:11 (KJV)

What a wonderful way this scripture describes the beauty of a word that is fitly spoken.  Just think about the times someone said something to you that was positive and it was just what you needed to hear at the perfect time.  It probably put a smile on your face and brought joy to your heart.  Oftentimes, the Lord will send someone to give that encouraging word at the perfect time because He loves you and knows just what it takes to change the direction of your day.

Let’s be mindful of the power that our voices have. Then mix that power with God’s magnificent love, and wisdom and share it with those we encounter. 

 

 

Reflections

  • Have you noticed the impact that your words have on others?  Is it positive or negative?  If negative, ask God for wisdom on how to make the necessary corrections.

  • What’s the most impactful thing someone has ever said to you?  How did it make you feel?
  • How did you handle a time when someone said something hurtful to you?
